ShanghaiAges 18 years+ - NCT07013344Recruiting
Link between NT-proBNP and heart artery disease
This study looks at a blood test called NT-proBNP to see if it can help predict how much blockage is in the heart's arteries. It may help doctors better understand heart disease risk.
Milan, ItalyAges 18 years+ - NCT07016854Recruiting
Early treatment for blocked carotid artery stroke
This trial tests whether early treatment (using a catheter to open the blocked artery) can help people with a stroke caused by a blockage in the internal carotid artery. The goal is to improve recovery and reduce disability.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18 years+ - NCT07068789Recruiting
Leg Artery Bypass: One vs. Multiple Vessels for Severe Limb Threat
This trial compares opening up one versus multiple blood vessels below the knee to improve blood flow in people with severe leg pain or wounds. It aims to find the best approach to save the limb and improve quality of life.
Sohag, Sohag GovernorateAges 40 years+ - NCT07077057Recruiting
AI tool for heart attack detection
This trial tests an artificial intelligence system that helps doctors quickly identify heart attacks (myocardial infarction) in patients with symptoms like chest pain or shortness of breath. It aims to speed up diagnosis and treatment.
Lugano, Canton TicinoAges 18 years+ - NCT07095660Recruiting
Catheter device for leg vein blockages
This trial tests a new catheter device to remove blockages in the large veins of your legs. It may help if you have chronic leg swelling or pain from vein problems.
GalwayAges 18 years+ - NCT07099599Recruiting
Image test for blood flow after stroke treatment
This trial uses a special imaging technique to check if blood flow has fully returned to the brain after a stroke clot is removed. It aims to improve understanding of how well the brain's tiny blood vessels are working after treatment.
Cincinnati, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT07114393Recruiting
Better imaging to guide complex heart artery procedures
This study looks at whether using advanced imaging inside the heart arteries during complex procedures leads to better outcomes compared to current standard practice. If you have had a complex angioplasty (PCI) and your data is in a national heart registry, you may be included.
Eindhoven, North BrabantAges 18 years+ - NCT07115511Recruiting
Surgical rescue after failed clot removal for stroke
This trial tests a surgical rescue treatment for people who have had a major stroke from a large artery blockage, but the standard clot removal procedure (thrombectomy) did not fully open the artery. The goal is to see if combining surgery with the earlier procedure can improve outcomes.
Tianjin, Tianjin MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT07137832RecruitingPhase 3
Testing clot-busting drug during stroke treatment for medium vessel blockages
This trial tests whether giving a clot-dissolving medication directly into the brain's blood vessels during a standard procedure (mechanical thrombectomy) can improve outcomes for people with a stroke caused by a blockage in a medium-sized artery. It may be an option for patients who arrive at the hospital within 24 hours of symptom onset and have enough salvageable brain tissue.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18 years+ - NCT07141303RecruitingPhase 3
Steroid after stroke clot removal for anterior circulation large vessel occlusion
This trial tests if giving a steroid (methylprednisolone) directly into the brain artery after successful clot removal improves recovery. It is for people who had a large stroke in the front part of the brain and got the clot out within 24 hours.
